Elon Musk wants to connect RVs and trucks to the internet through SpaceX’s Starlix satellites

埃隆·馬斯克希望通過SpaceX的星鏈衛(wèi)星將房車和卡車與互聯(lián)網(wǎng)連接起來

SpaceX is working on an antenna that will connect vehicles like semi-trucks and RVs to its satelliteW internet network, CEO Elon Musk said in a tweet on Monday.

周一,SpaceX首席執(zhí)行官埃隆·馬斯克在推特上表示,該公司正在研究一種天線,將卡車和房車等車輛與衛(wèi)星互聯(lián)網(wǎng)網(wǎng)絡(luò)連接起來。

Musk clarified that the antenna will not be for “connecting Tesla cars to Starlix,” saying that the user “terminal is much too big.”

馬斯克澄清說,天線不是用來“連接特斯拉汽車和星鏈”的,他說“用戶終端太大了”。

“This is for aircraft, ships, large trucks & RVs,” Musk said.

“這主要用于飛機(jī)、船舶、大型卡車和房車”馬斯克說。

Musk was responding to CNBC’s reporting that SpaceX requested authorization from the Federal Communications Commission to begin deploying antenna for its Starlix service on “moving vehicles.”

馬斯克回應(yīng)CNBC的報道,稱SpaceX請求聯(lián)邦通信委員會授權(quán),開始在“移動的車輛”上部署星鏈服務(wù)天線。

Starlix is the company’s capital-intensive project to build an interconnected internet network with thousands of satellites, known in the space industry as a constellation, designed to deliver high-speed internet to consumers anywhere on the planet.

SpaceX director of satellite policy David Goldman wrote in a letter to the FCC on Friday that “the volume of traffic flowing over the world’s networks has exploded,” adding that “no longer are users willing to forego connectivity while on the move.”
